1. Exercise To Burn Fat 1 — Barbell Squat

Target Muscle Group(s): Legs

Directions:

With your feet firmly planted on the floor shoulder-width apart, rest a racked barbell comfortably on the upper portion of the back — not the neck. Grasp the bar approx. one foot outside the shoulders and step outwards from the barbell rack. Draw your shoulders back and tighten the core, and slowly squat downwards until your quads are parallel with the ground. Powerfully accelerate upwards to a full standing position, pause for one second, and repeat.

Maintain strong posture throughout each squat and do NOT arch your back, as this can cause back injury.

2. Exercise To Burn Fat 2 — Dumbbell Swing

Target Muscle Group(s): Shoulders

Directions:

Stand slightly wider than shoulder-width apart and place a dumbbell on the floor in front of your stance. Squat down, tighten your core, and grab the dumbbell with your palm facing your body. With your back straight, powerfully accelerate your legs upward and swing the dumbbell towards the ceiling, until it’s at eye level.

3. Exercise To Burn Fat 3 — The Lower Abs Trifecta

Directions:

The Lower Abs Trifecta is a superset of three different lower abs exercises: Ab Pulse Ups, Reverse Crunches, and Ab V Holds.

4. Exercise To Burn Fat 4 — Dumbbell Renegade Row

5. Exercise To Burn Fat 5 — Deadlift

6. Exercise To Burn Fat 6 — BOSU Ball Shoulder Press

7. Exercise To Burn Fat 7 — Bulgarian Split Squat

Stand perpendicular to a flat bench with the laces of one foot on top, with the opposite foot split out on the ground in front. With a light dumbbell in each hand, slowly squat downward until your front quad is parallel with the floor. Maintain strong posture throughout the movement and keep your front toe in line with your front knee. Your foot shouldn’t extend further out or fall short of your knee cap.

8. Exercise To Burn Fat 8 — Goblet Squat And Press

Grab the top of a dumbbell and hold it at shoulder height. Slowly descend into a deep squat with your quads slightly below parallel, explode upwards, and press the dumbbell overhead. Hold for one second at the top and repeat.

Maintain strong posture throughout and do NOT arch your back.

9. Exercise To Burn Fat 9 — Dip Set

Perform a set of 12 dips immediately followed by a set of 12 push-ups, or whichever number of reps allows you to successfully complete the superset. If you’re unable to do a full body weight dip, perform bench dips instead.
